Sadden

Not to mention the fact that I was half-naked in front of him and the towel was barely covering my ass.

He looked at me with a hunger in his eyes as he blushed.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you didn't take too hot of a shower. I didn't want you getting dizzy and passing out again. You do have a habit of not listening to anybody."

I rolled my eyes and headed to the bedroom.

"Ouch."

"See, I told you not to roll your eyes at me, and you didn't listen." He reminded.

I smiled as I shut the door and got dressed. When I came out he was downstairs in the kitchen. He set a cup of coffee on the counter and a plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes.

"Did you make all this?"

"It's sure I did, you sound surprised?"

I took a bite of the eggs.

"To be honest I am, I didn't think you knew how to cook."

He sat down next to me at the island and started eating.

���How hard is it to cook eggs? Plus I can cook a little," he smiled.

I wanted to bring up the conversation I heard earlier, but we were heading out in a while, and I didn't want to upset him.

"So, did I harm you in any way last night?" I asked.

He looked at me and frowned.

"No, in fact, you put your arms around me, started rubbing my chest and calling me Mei Lin, I was quite turned on."

My mouth dropped until he smiled and I knew he was joking. I went to smack him as he laughed and grabbed my wrists, holding them rubbing my scars and looking straight into my eyes.

The atmosphere was no longer playful as it turned serious.

"My scars really bug you don't they?"

He let go of my hands and stood up, taking his plate to the dishwasher.

"They sadden me, that's all."

"Why that, I didn't even know you when this happened. Why would my scars sadden you so much?"

He kept his back turned to me.

"It saddens me that someone could think so little of their life to want to do such a thing."

That comment hurt me deep down to my core, and I wanted to break down and cry. He stood staring out the window with his hands on the counter.

"I told you why I did it, and it wasn't because I thought so little of my life. I did it to lessen the pain for my father, and how dare you MU KAI."

Too late, the tears started falling then I left the kitchen. He came after me and grabbed me pulling me into him as he held me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I swear I didn't. I just get sad when I see them because it reminds me of what you went through." His voice was sincere, and I could tell he regretted saying what he did.

I looked up at him.

"It's ok, let's just forget about it and head out."

He gently wiped my tears and put his forehead on mine.

"I'm an insensitive bastard." He sounded wounded and broken.

Those words were from pain, and I wanted to know what happened in his life to make him this way.

I put my hand on his firm chest.

"You're in luck and I am quite fond of insensitive bastards."

He smiled and kissed me on the head.

"Let's go."
